A great new blog!

I just added a new blog to my google reader: Jen’s Product of the Day. She’s been around for a few months now, blogging up a storm about scented bath, body, and skincare products. Especially if you’re into natural and/or homemade items, go check it out. I found her […]

More gourmet-scented deodorants!

Not to be outdone by some of the scents I posted about earlier, one of my favorite antiperspirant brands has come out with new, yummy scents. Mitchum is one of the most effective deodorants I’ve tried, and now the classic formula is offered in new options like Papaya and Rosepetal. Rose Petal […]

Keeping it Cool: The new batch of gourmet-scented anti-perspirants!

For years, in the deodorant aisle we had a choice between about four scents across all brands:  unscented, ‘powder fresh’, floral (I was partial to lilac), and ‘fresh rain’.  What you put under your arms to stay sweat-free may be a mundane thing, but now brands like Secret and Teen Spirit are upping the ante.
A […]

Bath and Body Works Summer Clearance - almost over!

If you’ve been able to stay away thus far, I salute you.  I’ve made several small purchases thus far - one of my favorites being a Strawberry Patch candle.  There’s nothing like making pancakes on a Saturday morning while enjoying the sweet scent of strawberries!  Another great buy was the $5 wallflower refill kits (two […]

Summer Scents: Lemon Sugar

Like a cordial of limoncello, lemon and sugar can be a refreshing perfume or body spritz in the summer’s soupiest days. Fresh did Lemon Sugar, of course, ten years ago. The notes for Fresh’s perfume are: Italian Bergamot, Yuzu, Mandarin, Lychee Flower, Orange Blossom, Ginger Flower, Oak Moss, Caramel, White Santal. A […]

Summer Scents - Stella McCartney Stella

For some strange reason, the past few days I’ve found myself reaching for Stella.  Although the predominant amber notes in this perfume might make it seem more appropriate for fall or winter, the lovely rose and peony floral is very ‘now’ for me.  Granted, it takes a light touch - more like a dusting of […]

Summer Scents - Bond no. 9 Coney Island

Honestly, this is the ULTIMATE summer perfume.  From the sky-blue bottle reminiscent of lazy days and beach weekends, to the juice inside.  Just read these notes: margarita mix, melon, guava, cinnamon, chocolate, caramel, musk, vanilla, cedar and sandalwood.   However, the scent of summer (like that beach house) doesn’t come cheap - 1.7 ounces of perfume […]

Summer Scents - Bobbi Brown Beach

If clean and modern, or fun and fruity isn’t really your style, there are still lots of summery perfumes for you to enjoy.  The perfume bottle may not hint at ‘classic’, but indeed, one of the most classic Summer Scents is Bobbi Brown Beach.  The notes include sand jasmine, sea spray, and mandarin - […]

Summer Scents - Shu Uemura Depsea Water

I don’t claim to know much about depsea water or why it is “the most stable water on earth” but I do know the color-therapy bottles and mist texture are great for summer. There are two limited edition scents for summer. Pick one up at shuuemura.com or visit your local (hah) Shu counter.
DEPSEA […]
